No Armenian official representative invited to festival in Turkish region of Kars

No official representative from Armenia has been invited to the festival in Kars, Turkey, on 13-15 September after the dissatisfaction of Azerbaijani media and public.

Only folklore groups from Armenia will attend the festival,” Azerbaijani consul to Kars Hasan Zeynalov told the APA exclusively.

The consul said the consulate met with the Kars local authority regarding this matter.

“They promised there will be no discussions on opening Armenia-Turkey border in the festival. I made remarks to Kars local authority that Armenia has territorial claims against Turkey and aggressive policy against Azerbaijan. In this case, opening of the border is out of question,” Mr.Zeynalov said.

The consul also said the issue regarding opening of Armenia-Turkey border was discussed in the previous two festivals in Kars. Azerbaijani participants left the event earlier protesting to this discussion.
